A significant leap in India’s naval aviation capabilities was marked today with the commissioning of the Naval Aircraft and Ship Instrumentation (NASI) complex and the Airborne Weapon and Sensor Integration Lab (AWSIL) by Flag Officer Naval Aviation at the Naval Flying Training School (NFTS), Hansa.
This state-of-the-art complex is set to revolutionize flight testing by providing a comprehensive platform for the development and integration of advanced systems. The NASI complex will play a pivotal role in enhancing the operational efficiency and combat readiness of the Indian Navy’s aircraft fleet.
Simultaneously, the Regional Centre for Military Airworthiness (RCMA) was inaugurated by CE, Cemilac, Mr APVS Prasad. Strategically co-located with NFTS, the RCMA will streamline the certification process for naval projects, accelerating their induction into service.
The establishment of these facilities underscores the Indian Navy’s commitment to technological advancement and self-reliance in the aerospace and defense sectors.
